I got this striped dracaena from Costco about a month ago, his name is Gerald btw. He was plenty healthy til this past week. The tips of his leaves started getting crisp and he is yellowing on all tips. Some leaves have started yellowing all the way down and curling in on themselves. I watered the day I got him, and about two weeks ago with plant food. I used the diagnostic tool and it suggests more light, he’s in a bright window that gets 8-10 hrs of light. Should I supplement with indoor lighting? His soil is still damp down to the roots, but he has sufficient drainage.
*ps new plant mom. Trying to do right by my plants lol.
I’ve included a picture from the day I got him and today.

Hi all! I have an alocasia that’s having some browning problems. I wait to water until it is droopy (past root rot experience with alocasias lol) and it is under a grow light. The disco ball is a humidifier haha (I also mist 1-2 times a day). Only two leaves are having this problem. I repotted within the last month, and the roots are great. The pot has drainage and is in bark, perlite, and soil. I’m concerned because it seems to be spreading on the leaves it’s on. Thanks in advance!

A couple of weeks ago I took a beautiful spiderette from my friends spider plant, I’ve been doing the wet paper towel method but the roots have been growing quite slowly and are only about 2-3cm (if that!) so aren’t long enough to pot yet, and now it is getting sad. Does anyone know what I could do to help it while it’s too small for soil? Thanks :) x

My Never Never Plant is leaning over. I have read that I should not stake it. Thoughts?

Should I replant my pink Princess into a bigger pot?
This was a cutting I got about a year ago and it’s grown dramatically (losing a few bottom leaves along the way, making the base a little wobbly).

Please help 🙂. This false Christmas cactus has some leaves that are drying out and falling off. I’m about to water it. I don’t notice anything else wrong with it. If you know how to help or advise please do so. Thank you guys so much!!

My Xanadu has some new growth but I just cut off three brown leaves. I checked that it’s not sitting in water or soggy soil. Does anyone have any advice?

I bought this plant 4 days ago and the leaves have drooped down significantly since bringing it home. Have been following light requirements, have not watered yet. Should I try watering? I didn’t want to over do it with this guy.

Hello, my palm plant is dying. Its branches have no strength at all in them. Because of which they fell down. Could someone help me with what needs to be done for this? I am really worried about this.

Did my fern die? It was below freezing for about 3 days and I forgot to take it inside (this is my first outdoor plant) 😣 Is there any way to save it?

Do I need to water aloe babies more often than a full size aloe (about once a month)?
The soil feels dry after just a couple day

Whenever I water my plants, it sends me all over the house. Is there a way to group them so you’re watering all the ones in the same room?

Help me out: this was labeled at the grocery store as a Silver Dragon but I’m sure this is a Dragon Scale, right? TIA!!✨

I got this tradescantia plant on Christmas from someone else as a gift! I’ve been watering it, but should I cut/ repot it? I’m not sure how to tell if I should rate it as in bad or good condition. Any help would be appreciated!!

Zz plant. I have repotted this several times. It still looks fine but clearly the roots keep growing out of the soil. Should I repot and bury them more?

Okay, so I’ve got a few things going on here:
My all time fave plant, this little tradescantia was growing so fast and healthy but recently I’ve seen some yellowing leaves at the base of the plant and also some shrivelling, dried new growth. Any ideas?
Next I have this prayer plant. She’s not looking too hot now but in the summer she had a ton of new growth. When the heating came on though she lost a lot of leaves before I figured out how to help, so she’s bear bare now. Anyone know how to get a fuller maranta? She does have one new leaf coming but it’s been like this for at least 2 weeks with out unfurling. What’s happening?!
Finally my peace Lilly has lots of new leaves but also some permanently yellow ones. Anyone know why this is?
Thank you so much, I know there is a lot here but any help is greatly appreciated!! x

help!
I got this rubber plant about 6 months ago and I think it was a bit shocked when she moved in so it dropped a ton of older leaves. I don’t know if I should take off the leaves that have damage? Would cloning paste work to regrow some of the dropped leaves?
Also is this garden pot too small for how big the plant is? I didn’t want to repot it when it was dropping leaves.
The new growth is doing super well, no problems unfurling leaves and they don’t appear to have any damage.
